Powerful CT tractor for clean-out operations
PipeSnake Flow Through (FT) is a modular, coiled tubing tractor designed to revolutionize well intervention by delivering a powerful yet highly flexible solution for combined conveyance and clean-out operations.
Its short, modular setup makes it highly adaptable to various tubing sizes and operational demands. With its front-vented design, high flow rate, and rotational propulsion, PipeSnake FT overcomes the limitations of traditional conveyance, ensuring incredibly efficient intervention in complex well architectures and extensive horizontal sections.
PipeSnake reinvents coiled tubing conveyance and clean-out operations by providing a short, powerful, and fully configurable solution.
Adjustable wheelarm sections ensure optimal contact with the tubing wall, while the modular construction allows for quick installation of additional drive sections, adapting seamlessly to operational needs.
A high flow rate enables effective debris removal, making PipeSnake FT the optimal solution for coiled tubing clean-out applications. The fluid module directs full flow to the front of the tractor, enhancing efficiency in debris management.
